    Presented by Heritage New West with support from the New Westminster Museum and Archives

    The New Westminster Museum has compiled a map touring the family homes of 19 New Westminster veterans from World War 1 and 2.

    View the map here.

    Interpretive posters telling their stories were created by New Westminster’s Heritage Preservation Society and researched and written by local historian Jim Wolf. These posters will be placed along the street outside each of the homes listed on the map for people to explore at their own pace.

    Find more ways to remember.
